Medical kiosks raise security flags

The Cleveland Clinic has joined other hospitals in embracing next-generation medical kiosks. These kiosks can be placed in various locations to provide more accessible healthcare to patients. While this move is considered convenient and efficient, there are concerns about privacy and IT security risks. The kiosks collect data, which is sent to the vendor’s cloud. There are concerns about how the data will be used and protected. As more hospitals consider implementing these kiosks, there is a need to address these concerns.
